Senior Care Options for Your Loved One

When you and your family members are considering senior care options for your loved one, there are several you can choose from. You can base these options by the level of care your loved one needs, his or her geographical location and finances. However, it is critical that you choose the option that your loved one is the most comfortable with while also providing the services he or she needs. The following information about the most common types of senior care options will help you and your loved one make an informed decision about the type of option that is best for them.

Senior Care Options Include:

1. In Home Health Care Services

Of all of the senior care options available, this option has become one of the most popular among the elderly for several reasons. One of the advantages of this service is that all of the care is provided in the home. Your loved one will also have the opportunity to select services and help create their own customized care plan. Some of the services that you may be able to include are:

Hospice “ Services that are brought into the home to help care for a patient with a terminal illness and provide emotional support to both patients and their families.

Medical care “ This includes services such as medication reminders, monitoring vital signs and other wellness checks

Full time services “ These services ensure that your loved one receives continuous care 24 hours a day. The caregivers will provide care in shifts. This is an excellent option for those who do not want to move into a nursing home, but would benefit from regular monitoring.

2. Assisted Living

Another option for senior care for your loved one is moving them into an assisted living facility. There are many facilities available for seniors who are relatively healthy, but prefer to live in a community of their peers. These large campuses offer seniors the option of either living in an apartment or townhouse while still receiving the medical and non-medical care they need.

3. Nursing Homes

It may be necessary to relocate your loved one into a nursing home if he or she is not able to physically live on their own. Mobility impairments, communication problems and the need for constant medical attention are some of the reasons why families may want to move their loved ones into a long term care facility.
